If you haven't watched the movie Eternal Sunshine Of A Spotless Mind and if you are planning to watch it then Spoiler alert :-)
Two people fall madly in love with each other, then they have fights, separate, and get the memories of each other erased by a brain procedure. Then they meet again on a train... and again fall for each other.
And I was thinking about this movie... that if two people have felt strongly for one another then they are going to feel the same way whenever they meet again...irrespective of their age, life situation or relationship status.
So the only thing that goes wrong with relationships is not the feelings but it is the memories... of misbehavior, fights, arguments, misinterpretations, and misunderstandings.
What if we could perform a brain procedure every night and remove not the person but just the memories of those fights...that would be a unique solution to the survival of relationships and then relationships won't become a cauldron of resentments.
But let's say that we erase memories of each other by a brain procedure and still fall for the same person again…then just feelings for the person are not good enough, correct?
If we are again going to get into the trap of incompatibility, then what's the point of feelings alone?
It's a great movie, but somehow not practical...what do you think?
